iAddressX brings your Address Book out onto the menubar in the same way as High Priority enables menubar management of your iCal ToDos.

It installs itself as a preference pane in System Preferences.

An “@” icon then appears in your menubar with a drop down menu that will list all your contacts by a variety of categories:

The preference pane allows you to set which fields the menu should display, to assign a hotkey for opening the drop down menu, control the way numbers are dialled (Vonage is also supported) and more:

You can also cut and paste address information from the menubar into any app.

iAddressX is shareware (USD 8) and a 30 day demo is available from the developer’s web site.

(I’m sure that I blogged this before (thinking it was a nifty little app), but can’t find the post.

My computer thinks that I have too. It tells me that my demo period has expired when I try to install it. So I am reduced to stealing screenshots from the users’ manual. Apologies.)
